Chapter 436: : No one is a fool

?A man with more than ten thousand people will look mighty and mighty. The Yulin Army with soldiers and auxiliary riders close to thirty thousand walks on the wilderness. From a distance, it occupies a large field of vision. Go with the wind.

  

  The Habayashi Army is a cavalry in nature, one person is equipped with two horses, and the knight’s weight is handed to him when he marches. Most of them don't wear armor during the march, and they will ride a secondary horse. Only when the outlying scouts return to the enemy will they wear armor and replace the main horse with the help of the guards.

  

   is the head of the Habayashi army of tens of thousands, and about five miles in front are the Janissaries divided into two groups, each of which is a mixture of 10,000 on foot and cavalry.

  

   The Imperial Guard does not have auxiliary personnel. After they are dispatched, they remain fully armed and can enter the combat posture anytime, anywhere. This is directly related to the physical strength of people and horses, after all, they are clearly a "special case".

  

   In addition to the Kai Habayashi Army and the Imperial Guard, the last one is a field regiment of 50,000. Sixty percent of the soldiers in this field regiment have just been converted from auxiliary soldiers to combat soldiers, which means that there are only 40% of veterans in the true sense.

  

  The main general in charge of the battle against Jijin is Li Tan, who is also the direct commander of the Habayashi Army.

  

   This time the Yu Lin army was the main force in the attack on Jijin. Li Tan can be said to have a dual emotion of excitement and tension. He knows the importance of Jijin and even more understands that it will not be easy to fight.

  

   It is because he knows that he is not good to fight, Li Tan will be excited. His understanding is that the king gives himself a difficult task, and that is his trust in himself. The Habayashi army actually participated in the war for the first time. Doesn't such a stage show exactly what the king expects from the Habayashi army?

  

"The enemy army has been retreating wildly recently. It is reported that Shi Xuan has joined the Chaoge battlefield with a large number of elites, and Huan Wen's forces are facing a situation of being surrounded." Peng Da is a native of Beihai County, and he joined the Han army relatively late. Up. It is not luck for him to become Li Tan's lieutenant. The late joining and his current achievements are enough to illustrate his ability. He said slightly lowly: "There are also rumors that Li Kuang's battle in Suoyang City is not going well."

  

   The Han army strived to form a large-scale encirclement of the Shijie Zhao army in Puyang County. The two units crossing the north bank of the Yellow River were fairly smooth in the early stage, but the current situation is turning to a disadvantage to the two units.

  

   "Whether it is Huan Wen or Li Kuang, they all know the possibility of being surrounded when fighting deep into the enemy's territory." Li Tan is only twenty-six years old and has too many experiences to appear calm in character. He said solemnly: "For us, taking Jijin is the only one."

  

"Intelligence shows that Jijin’s enemy is no less than 70,000, and the Zhao army in Wenshijin can quickly reinforce at any time." Peng Da had to say: "Our target is Jijin, but we are actually facing Jijin. Wen Shijin, Yanjin, and even all the enemy troops who fought their heads."

  

   The person appointed as Li Tan's marching army is Wang Jian. He was originally the Shang Shuling of Ran's Qin State. Originally, he had been quietly listening to the conversation between the main general and the lieutenant general, and when he was not talking, he said: "Yes, we have to face a large number of enemy troops, and we have to act as support and even the important task of helping Huan Wen's army."

  

Huan Wen’s news to the rear now is getting less and less day by day. He has less than 50,000 under his command as the Chaoge battlefield. Only when facing Cao Fu’s tribe, he can still play vigorously until Shijie Zhao’s follow-up reinforcements. Upon arrival, especially after Shi Xuan led the army to join, their situation began to take a turn for the worse.

  

Facing the situation of being actually surrounded, Huan Wen is fortunate that there is no shortage of food and military equipment on his side. Having enough food can ensure that morale does not collapse, and even if there are enough military equipment, he can do his best to hold the camp. In the short term Nei just seems to be in a bad situation, but there is no crisis of destruction.

  

   The Han army attacked Jijin in order to seize, and in a way, it also relieved Huan Wen’s pressure. The senior officials of the Han army thought that it would take a breakthrough layer by layer to attack Jijin, but things were a little unexpected. Shijie Zhao Jun was undergoing a full-scale contraction. The north bank of the Yellow River only kept the white horse and aragonite Shijin, and the rest of the place. They are all voluntarily giving up.

  

As the chief historian of the Kingdom of Shijie Zhao, Ji Chang has already informed the civil and military who need to know that Shihu is most likely to want to use Jijin as a venue for the decisive battle. .

  

   "Nature." Li Tan had already seen a fast rider coming retrograde ahead, he said: "Stone Tiger is sure that we will not easily destroy those bridges."

  

Hundreds of years have passed since the bridges built during the Emperor Xuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty. They are the main bridges connecting the two banks of the Yellow River. The Han army did not want to take only the land on the south bank of the Yellow River. It would certainly not be possible to keep those bridges for military purposes in the future. destruction.

  

In fact, the three bridges on Jijin's side are not the oldest one. They were in the pre-Qin period of the ancient Qin Dynasty. In May 541 BC, the three bridges were on the Dali East Yellow River in the Jin area (east of Shaanxi). Build a bridge. Behind the bridge was the main communication line used by Zhao, one of the three Jin kingdoms, to attack Zhongshan. It was used until the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Xiaohe (Liu Zhao) was destroyed, so it took more than 600 years from construction to destruction.

  

   Everyone thinks that the end of the war in Puyang County is the time to enter Yecheng and Xiangguo, so that everyone is struggling to do more and make enough contributions.

  

   The quick rider who conveyed the military sentiment came to the edge of Li Tan and did not dismount. The knight marched on horseback and said: "Report to the general that the enemy is found thirty miles ahead. Initially, there should be 50,000 paces in sight."

  

   This troop is walking along the south bank of the Yellow River, and must pass by the White Horse. Can you guess that it is Zhao Jun who came out of the White Horse to stop the road?

  

   Li Tan nodded and said that he knew that, waiting for the quick ride to leave, he looked at Wang Jian and said: "Chang Shi, the enemy really came to intercept."

  

"It won't be only fifty thousand." Wang Jian said confidently: "Looking at Shihu's recent actions, there is a tendency to withdraw directly to the north bank of the Great River. Then the enemy troops of Baima will definitely take the initiative to leave the city. Baima has 80 thousand Zhao. The army, Wen Shijin also has 70,000, plus the Zhao army who Shihu urgently transferred from various places recently, they will be the first group of enemy troops to fight with us."

  

Recently, both the Han army and Shijie Zhao army have been mobilized very frequently. It is extremely difficult for both sides to fully grasp each other’s dynamics, so that the Han army does not know how many Shijie Zhao troops are on the south bank of the Yellow River. What kind of stuff is Shijie Zhao Jun?

  

There are discrepancies in the data that Wang Jian just mentioned. For example, there have not been so many Zhao Jun on the south bank of the Yellow River. Most of the Jie people's army on the Puyang County side has been withdrawn to the north bank of the Yellow River. military.

  

Naturally, Li Tan didn’t know what kind of enemy he was going to face. He would be cautious when he was the leader of the party for the first time. It seemed that the first moment he found the enemy was to send the necessary light cavalry. Going to the test first, the main force still keeps the original speed advancing.

  

   Pengda looked up at the sky and said, "It should be about three quarters to three (close to ten), and the formal contact will happen after Shenshi (one noon to three in the afternoon)."

  

The combined total strength of their troops is one hundred thousand, excluding non-combatants, fifty-five thousand, just facing fifty thousand enemy troops and not frustrated, what needs to be considered is that the enemy will have reinforcements at any time, but their own will not. .

  

  According to Ji Chang's arrangement, although the capture of Jijin is the key, it is impossible to capture it by a sudden attack. The reason is that Shijie Zhao Jun attaches great importance to Jijin. There were a large number of Shijie Zhao troops garrisoned there, and Dragon Guards and Donggong Gaoli joined behind. It is not something that can be done in a raid to seize Jijin. Rely on the frontal advancement and the cooperation of the navy.

  

   Li Tan was asking where his fleet is.

  

   "The latest news has not been delivered yet." Wang Jian silently calculated, and said: "We are still seventy miles away from Jijin, and the fleet should be further behind."

  

   In fact, the marching speed of the waterborne fleet is faster than that of the land marching. However, only when the fleet arrives at Jijin, it does not have much effect. It should be a combination of amphibious operations.

  

  It is not that the Han army has not considered using waterways to transport troops to fight, but long-distance water transport will cause physical discomfort to the soldiers, and similar plans have not been carried out.

  

   Li Tan got new news from behind, and the 50,000 enemy troops that seemed to be blocking the road flung a shot and withdrew.

  

   "They..." Li Tan said to Wang Jian with extreme suspicion, "Should we observe the white horse?"

  

   Wang Jian nodded immediately: "The enemy's actions are weird. The White Horse is very likely to have been abandoned. It is time to send someone to observe."

  

   The next temptation really confirmed that the white horse's enemy had disappeared, and the stone tiger abandoned the white horse after destroying the fortifications it could destroy. Not only the White Horse, but some of the staging points west of the White Horse should also be destroyed. Shijie Zhao Jun was completely absent along the way.

  

"They don't set fires because they don't want us to detect them in advance!" Wang Jian was not happy because the advancement went smoothly, but with extreme caution: "There is no news from Wen Shijin, but looking at Shihu's actions..., they are Concentrate your forces..." His thinking is a bit chaotic now, but half of it is silently thinking.

  

   Li Tan relayed the news back to the rear and led the troops to advance.

  

   In the evening, the scout sent back a puzzling news that Shihu and Wen Shijin also gave up on their own initiative.

  

   The Han army of Litan was camped on the east side of Wenshijin about twenty miles away. He called the generals for a meeting. The first sentence said: “According to the information gathered, Jijin’s enemy army is no less than 200,000.”

  

   "Shihu's courage is really great!" Wang Jian gave a salute to Li Tan first, and then said: "With Jijin as the center, within ten miles of the south bank has become a big camp, and the north bank has a wider range of camps."

  

   The people who heard the news are basically looking for people to look at each other. Now they have never fought Shijie Zhao Jun in a decent battle, and they have approached Wen Shijin smoothly, but the situation they are facing seems to be grim.

  

Naturally, the news from the front should be delivered to the rear urgently. Almost the next day, Liu Yan received a report from Li Tan. The leading troops on the way to Li Tan had already arrived within 15 miles of Jijin. The huge camp on the side.

  

   There are several key points in the intelligence gathered from Liu Yan. Shihu took the initiative to abandon a large amount of land in Puyang County, and the situation of the two Han forces on the north bank of the Yellow River is getting worse and worse.

  

"Li Kuang's journey is okay, Huanwen's side..." Ji Chang had just read some information and said with a wry smile: "Huanwen's more than 40,000 people are surrounded by enemy forces of close to 150,000, and the enemy is attacking. Behind. The number of enemy troops that will join the attack will be greater, isn't it that we...were too big before the minister?"

  

   Chaoge’s position is quite critical, as it can cut off Jijin’s back path, and can be used as a nail as long as Huanwen’s place is not destroyed. As a result, Shi Humao tried his best to eliminate Huan Wen's subordinates.

  

Whether it’s Huanwen’s or Li Kuang’s, they cross the north bank of the Yellow River with the task of forming an encirclement, and they are also the main purpose of attracting enemy forces. It is equivalent to saying that they must have the consciousness of being encircled from the beginning. The difference is that the stone tiger is destroyed. How determined is their determination and how many stone Jie Zhao Jun used.

  

"Isn't it unexpected?" Liu Yan looked relaxed. He looked at Ji Chang who was a little worried, and said: "It seems that Shihu is most targeted at Huanwen's subordinates. Is it possible to explain the importance of Chaoge? Is there no evaluation error in sex?"

  

Ji Chang nodded first, and continued to grimace behind him, saying: "Shihu resolutely gave up the South Bank and concentrated his forces on Jijin's side. Originally, Xie An wanted to enter the battlefield from the flanks after the decisive battle started~www.wuxiamtl.com ~Now...Should Xie An's subordinate go to meet with Huanwen's subordinate?"

  

   Xie An’s troops were attacking Hanoi from Xingyang County. They are currently located to the east of Shanyang (Jiaozuo). They can reach Chaoge within two days at the earliest.

  

   "Tai'an." Liu Yan knew that Ji Chang was really worried that Huanwen's subordinates would be eaten, and that would become the first Han army to be annihilated by a fully established system. He stood up and walked to the map of mountains and rivers, clicked on the Yellow River, and said: "The waterway is on our side. The original intention of capturing Jijin was to cut off the road behind Shihu. Shihu has now run to the north bank of the Yellow River. Our strategy of encirclement is practical. Shang has gone bankrupt..."

  

   Liu Yan hasn't finished speaking, Ji Chang is already full of shame over there.

  

   It's not wrong, the battle plan on the Han side has always been around trapping the stone tiger. Before Shihu did not respond, Shihu reacted abnormally and decisively, which is tantamount to bankruptcy of the siege plan, but it does not mean that all plans are bankrupt. At least Shihu has not withdrawn and flees far away. Isn't he still on the north bank of Jijin?

  

   "Jijin is not the only way for us to cross the river." Liu Yan does not have much psychology of gains and losses, but still maintains enough self-confidence: "As long as the waterway is firmly in our hands, where can we not cross the river north?"

  

"Wang Shang." Ji Chang probably adjusted his mood, his expression a bit cruel: "Shihu obviously wants to focus on Jijin. After holding on for a period of time, he will give up. We have to learn halfway and fight the battle. Why not just count it?"
